Description

The STEVAL-BCNKT01V1 integrated development and prototyping platform for augmented acoustic and motion sensing for IoT applications builds on the listening and balancing capabilities of the human ear. With the expanded capabilities of its starter kit, BlueCoin lets you explore advanced sensor fusion and signal processing functions for robotics and automation applications with a 4 digital MEMS microphone array, a high-performance 9-axis inertial and environmental sensor unit and time-of-flight ranging sensors. A high-performance STM32F446 180 MHz MCU enables real-time implementation of the very advanced sensor fusion algorithms like adaptive beamforming and sound source localization, with ready-to-use, royalty-free building blocks. The BlueCoin can connect via the on-board BLE link to any IoT and smart industry wireless sensor network.

Figure 1: STEVAL-BCNCS01V1 - BlueCoin Core System

STEVAL-BCNCS01V1 - BlueCoin Core System board features

Very compact module for motion, audio and environmental sensing and Bluetooth low energy connectivity with a complete set of firmware examples

Main components:

STM32F446 – 32-bit high-performance MCU (ARM® Cortex®-M4 with FPU)

4x MP34DT04-C1 – 64dB SNR Digital MEMS microphone

LSM6DSM – iNEMO inertial module: 3D accelerometer and 3D gyroscope

LSM303AGR – ultra-compact high-performance eCompass module: ultra-low power 3D accelerometer and 3D magnetometer

LPS22HB – MEMS nano pressure sensor: 260-1260 hPa absolute digital output barometer

BlueNRG-MS – Bluetooth low energy network processor

BALF-NRG-01D3 – 50 Ω balun with integrated harmonic filter

STBC03JR – linear battery charger with 150 mA LDO 3.0 V

External interfaces: UART, SPI, SAI (Serial Audio Interface), I²C, USB OTG, ADC, GPIOs, SDIO, CAN, I2S

SWD interface for debugging and programming capability

The Bluetooth radio power output is set by default to 0 dBm; the FCC and IC certifications refer to this operating value. The power output can be changed up to 8 dBm by reprogramming the device firmware, but this change will require an update of the FCC and IC certifications, with additional radio emission tests to be performed.
